Now this is what we call a birthday party. Funkadelic marks a year in the house, garage, bass, disco and techno business with a 15-hour bash starring 40 Irish DJs. Cork veterans Fish Go Deep top the bill in the main room, and there’s two other rooms to take care of whatever groove you’re after yourself. We look forward to seeing how they top this soiree for their second birthday.

HOUSE
